Forests

Forests are the land covered by trees. They are the source of life. Since the very beginning, forests have been the means to sustain human life. Not only man but all creatures depend upon forests. The forest provide direct and indirect service to mankind. However, the rapid degradation of forest around the globe is well known issue. As human civilization advanced, the tress started falling.
